The Nile tilapia assembly Orenil1.0, provided by the Broad Institute, has undergone preliminary annotation. This Pre! site displays 20248 raw gene models predicted from alignments of vertebrate proteins in UniProt. Alignments of zebrafish and stickleback Ensembl proteins from release 62 are also available, as are ab initio gene predictions and alignment of sequences from several public databases (e.g. UniGene, EMBL Vertebrate RNA, UniProt). RNASeq data are expected for the Nile tilapia and we intend to make use of these data during the forthcoming analyses. Click here to go to the Nile tilapia pre site.

The domestic ferret assembly MusPutFur1.0 was also provided by the Broad Institute. This Pre! site includes alignments of ferret proteins, cDNAs and ESTs. In addition, ab initio gene predictions and alignment of sequences from several public databases (e.g. UniGene, EMBL Vertebrate RNA, UniProt) are available.
